I do think the demand decreased in the past decade. The average consumer has their photos and documents in the cloud and signs up to streaming services for movies, shows, and music. Local storage is not as important as it used to be.

I’ve been doing that for years. Rollbacks are very rare, to the point that it doesn’t make much of a difference whether I do them all at once or not, other than spending more time to do it.

If I wasn’t using containers for everything, sure. Otherwise it’s a bit of an excessive concern.

exactly my point, I’d suggest automating that before I bothered with PRs that upgrade versions, as it’s a waste of time.

“manual changes”, which connotes “local changes”

It doesn’t. Manual as in a PR with upgrades that you’re suggesting yourself, as opposed to running dependabot.

Putting up a PR with changes isn’t considered a manual anything.

If I have to open a PR myself, that’s very much a manual change.

that’s a lot of FUD, topgrade just upgrades using all package managers you have, it doesn’t do the upgrades itself bypassing the manager that installed it, or package authors.

dependabot is a tool for repos, not to apply local changes

That may work for a handful of projects. It’d be my full time job if I did it for everything I run. Also, I might simply suggest maintainers to adopt dependabot or an alternative before I spend time with manual changes. These things should be automated.

what’s the alternative? Write a PR yourself?
